It’s so long since I’ve done some real nail art, and so yesterday the inspiration suddenly came upon me! I saw this super cute giraffe on the internet and remembered the scale you had as a child, which, each year, was marked with your new height. It didn’t turn out as I imagined, but it’s fun though 🙂 The base polish is O.P.I Samoan Sand and the rest is painted with acrylic paint. I hope you like it 🙂

Start by making a large circle in the middle of the nail. This will be the giraffe’s body. Then make a neck , and a small circle on the end of the neck , which must be the giraffe’s head.

Now make small ears on the giraffe and horns.

Now create the giraffe feet with two small dots using a dottingtool or similar (this will sure that the feets are the same size) . Make a line under the dot and assemble it with the dot, so that they together will form a triangle with a soft top and thus giraffe feet.

Now create the giraffe studs on the horns. Use a dottingtool to the studs on the horns so they will be the same size.

Now for the giraffe spots. The spots are made with a thin brush. They don’t need to be very precise or equal size.

Line your giraffe with a thin black line in order to give it contrast. The lines don’t need to be exact because you can just paint it over again with the yellow paint. Then make the giraffe nose with a dottingtool.

Finally make the ​​giraffe eyes. This is best done with a dottingtool so the eyes are the same size.
